Not much going on here....

Well, I realized it had been awhile since my last post, so thought I better find something to say. I've been sick all weekend with a cold/allergies-who really knows! I've just felt lousy! But I don't go back to work until Tuesday, so hopefully I'll be better by then!

We are staying pretty busy as usual! We always seem to be on the go with some activity, which may explain why I'm not feeling well : ) Madison loves her new school and is always busy with school work-which mostly involves the computer. So different from my days of 6th grade!! And she's having to share computer time with her Dad, who is back in school on-line finishing his Masters. So, that can be a challenge at times! And Isabella is loving kindergarten!! She is still coming home daily with new love sagas! She is learning, too!! LOL

Here are some pics of our annual "Back to School" visit to Bobby's-a 50's style place(basically a hole-in-the-wall) with great ice-cream, hamburgers, fries and shakes, etc!! I highly recommend it if you haven't been but expect a wait. We go at the beginning of school and sometimes at the end of school too. A tradition we started a few years ago with my parents.





The ice cream is very yummy if you can't tell!!!

It's over as soon as it started...

Well, no sooner than I wrote my blog, Isabella informed me the next day that the romance was over!! After I picked her up from school, I asked her how Ethan was. She said, "We broke up Mommy-he broke up with me first, then I broke up with him". I told her I was sorry and asked her what happened. She said, "It's okay Mommy, I already found another one, his name is Dalton!" How quickly they move on!! She acted like it was no big deal. She said they were still friends and that Ethan was still a part of "their family"(her and Dalton's). She also said, with a sad tone in her voice, that Ethan told her he didn't like her boots that day! Now Isabella is very proud of her pink boots, so I'm sure that didn't go over well!! Each day, I can't wait to hear what she will tell me next!! She's so funny with her stories!! So stay tuned....

We fell in love in the lunchroom...

Yes, it has happened!! Isabella is in love, at age 5!! Everyone I told this story to, died laughing and thought I must put it on my blog, so here goes!! Last week after school, Isabella exclaimed, "Mommy, I FINALLY found someone to marry!!"(because you know, she's running out of time! LOL) She went on to tell me they would be living on the beach and would probably go ahead and get married on the beach, since that's where they would be living anyway. She said she wasn't sure what he was going to do for a job, but he was thinking about it. She thought they would have their honeymoon in the jungle, but they hadn't decided yet-she said she'd need to talk to him about it. She also informed me they would be adopting 5 babies from Africa, because acutally having babies hurts too much(she has been saying this for a long time)!! By the way, his name is ETHAN! I asked her what he looked like and she said, "He's really cute with blond hair, and I think blue eyes".

Then later on that day, she told me the rest of the story. As I was tucking her in(after she had made Ethan several cards!!), she blurted out, "We fell in love in the lunchroom, Mommy, and I dropped my juice box on the floor when he asked me to marry him!!!!! I thought, did he just ask ME to marry him?! I couldn't help but drop my juice box!!" Then she added, "He kissed me on the hand, but then he got in trouble, so I knew I shouldn't kiss him back." He also told her he loved her in the hallway, and she "had to tell him she loved him too!"

After all of this, I just had to laugh!! It was sooo adorable her telling it, with all her drama and facial expressions!! She's never been like this about a boy, with so much detail and planning her future!! It's kinda scary really, but all so innocent!! Just had to share this with all of you-hope you get a kick out of it too!!
